The Episcopal Youth Event (E.Y.E.) will be July 8-13, 2008 at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas for young people who have just finished 9-12 grade that year.  It serves as a celebration to inspire a deeper faith in Jesus Christ, and a renewed commitment to mission and ministry.  It is the second largest event in the Episcopal Church and the single largest youth event in the Episcopal Church, typically attended by some 1500 young people, adult sponsors, bishops, staff, and resource people.

E.Y.E. is jam packed with fun and excitement!  It is an opportunity to meet other youth from all over the world and experience the church on a global level.  Participants are lodged in the host facility's dorms and eat meals at the campus dining facilities. The event community gathers regularly as a large group for worship, program, music, and media. Participants also meet daily in an ongoing small group. A variety or other activities, such as carnivals, forums, workshops, sports/recreation, and free time help round out the schedule.

E.Y.E. is a triennial event (held once every three years) as mandated by General Convention of the Episcopal Church.  The first E.Y.E. was held in 1982 at The University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana.  The most recent EYE was held in 2005 at Berea College in Berea, Kentucky.

E.Y.E. is coordinated by the Ministries with Young People Cluster of the Episcopal Church with the help of a Design Team of youth and adults from across the U.S. and beyond.

The Episcopal Diocese of Milwaukee will be having a delegation of youth and adult youth leaders going to this event. The Youth Commission has set aside funds from our budget for the last 3 years to go toward scholarships and expenses in attending this event. More information about scholarships and the event will be posted here soon! Contact Jennifer Rivera at jenrivera@hotmail.com
